    El federalismo alemán ante la integración europea
    in Revista de Derecho Constitucionál Europeo , n. 6 anno 3 ,  2006
    The well-known problems that the participation in European integration creates to the orders politically decentralized had been already confronted by the German federalism before this reform, although only in a partial way and achieving little effectiveness. The new regulation tries to palliate these existing deficiencies. Regarding the ascending phase of creation of the European Law, the competitions in which the Länder can participate directly have been reduced. The reform of the third section of article 53 FL tries to facilitate a fast and easy decision-making. In the descendent phase or execution phase of the European Law it seems logical to establish a system of responsibilities, although the objective would not have to be the distribution of responsibilities, but the securing of the fulfilment of the obligation, maybe by means of the instruments of the cooperative federalism. If the participation of the Länder in the general deficit of Germany is evident, it seems to be clear that they must also assume part of the responsibility for the shared law breakings too.
